And I do not mean the vacuum cleaner 
How to create it? Do you have a good patch? Is there a stock preset that sounds close enough?

A little bit tamer but a nice hoover:

Good tips here. Analog Four but same principle.
Challenge: anybody managed a half decent hoover?
Made this one for fun, absolutely not my style.

I’m pretty sure there’s a PWM preset on the Digitone. It shouldn’t be too much trouble to get it hoovering with a bit of portamento or pitch mod and a bit of unison. Might work to put two tracks on the same midi channel and have one as the PWM preset with portamento and unison and the other with a saw type sound with a bit of pitch and filter mod and play them with an external keyboard so you get that big, multiple waveform sound.
The closer I can get after half an hour.
I use hoover samples in almost every tracks, never though of trying to do that an an FM synth.
Thanks for the challenge!

Quite nice! Would you mind sharing what you did here?
Detune, Unison, and pitch LFOs 
Track 1 : low
Track 2 : sub
Track 3 : hi
Unison for track 1 and 3
LFOs for every tracks
@Pinkbox, nice patch, but isn’t missing a rising pitch at the beginning? (seems to be falling only).
Right!
Set LFO 2 on LFO 1 Depth

That’s more like it
You need the pitch mod with something like
a:15
r:30
s:0 (though you can change that to let it drop down to a different not than it starts on)
r:0
based on 100. I tried using the ramp up and fading the other lfo in (corrected) , but never got close enough to what I can do with other bits. I’m sure it could be done in the FM section somehow. I think you
still so funny to me that people call vacuums “hoovers.” that was name of my high school, because it was right down the street from The Hoover Company.
